Dr. Dimitrios Avgerinos answered

Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

Blood thinner: this is a difficult situation because you have to balance between the ulcer and the need for blood thinner. A good choice is enteric coated aspirin. However, depending on the etiology of stroke or heart dz, a blood thinner may be avoided.
